SINGAPORE – A 22-year-old man was in the early hours of May 3 arrested for drunkenness in public causing annoyance, after latching onto the rear of a moving armoured security vehicle. He held on for about 850m between Victoria Street and Stamford Road, until he was discovered by the auxiliary police force officers in the vehicle, the police said. The security officers then got out of the vehicle, at which point the man “immediately stepped down and walked away”, police added. Investigations revealed that the man – who appeared intoxicated – had tried to enter the armoured vehicle at about 3am that day in Queen Street when the auxiliary police force officers were loading ATM cash cartridges into the armoured vehicle. They stopped him before driving off. The officers called the police for assistance at about 4.20am after discovering the interloper. The man was arrested within two hours. He will be charged in court on May 4. If found guilty of drunkenness in public places and causing annoyance, he may be fined up to $1,000, jailed for up to six months, or both.

SINGAPORE — Despite five futile attempts to enter the polytechnic of his dreams, Aloysius Lim was unfazed. He finally succeeded on his sixth try and was accepted into Nanyang Polytechnic's (NYP) Infocomm and Media Engineering course. Three years on, the 24-year-old has excelled and graduated with a near-perfect grade point average of 3.99 out of 4. Lim is one of 5,300 graduates from NYP's Class of 2024 and is also one of the polytechnic's top eight graduates. On May 3, he received from Education Minister Chan Chun Sing the Tay Eng Soon Award for ITE Upgrader, presented to the most outstanding graduate who progressed to NYP from the Institute of Technical Education. When asked how he felt when he eventually received the acceptance call from NYP, Lim said: «I don't know how to explain the feeling, it's like I finally made it into my dream school after five years.» The former Greendale Secondary School student first wanted to apply to NYP in 2017, but did not qualify as he received an E8 in English language at the O-level exams. The minimum requirement to enter a polytechnic was a D7 for the subject.
